Pay The Devil Lyrics - Pay The Devil - Van Morrison

One man's meat is another man's poison 

One man's gain can be another man's loss 

I'm traveling down the lonely highway 

'Cause a rolling stone don't gather no moss 

Once I thought I could live the kind of life I wanted 

But the wayward wind made me restless and a fool of me 

'Cause I thought I could settle for the nine to five life 

Well, I guess it just was never meant to be 

Now people talk and they speculate about what other people would do 

But they can't put themselves within my shoes 

It used to be my life, now it's become my story 

I'm heading down this highway with those blues 

Well, I'd love to see the sun setting on the riverside 

Just to go back home, yeah, I want to settle down 

Well, I have to pay the devil for my music 

Why I have to keep on with this roaming around?
